This slipcover had a dramatic effect on the overall look to our family room - lightened up a very dark red couch that was still so comfortable, but just far too distracting in a smallish room. After struggling a bit on my own to get the material tucked just right, it came together much easier once my husband and older daughter helped to “hold” material in places until I could tuck it in. Looks great, is comfortable, and I liked it so much I suggested my mother buy one as well!
